    In the Cybertron line, especially in the figures Taker mentioned, it didn't bother me so much. All of those guys were qualitly enough in every other way to make up for it. Though it is sort of irritating in, say, Supreme Starscream, when the figure's a damn Supreme, you'd think that wouldn't be an issue.

    Yes, I know, SupremeScream's made from a smaller figure, and still awesome, but you'd think for at least that size they'd have worked something out. There is the crown, I guess...

    The back of his head hangs underneath the rat rump, looking vaguely like something that hangs underneath the rump on real (male) rats.

    I'd say that qualifies as 'visible, yet disguised' :)

    Are we counting TFs that have it exposed from ANY angle of the alt mode? If we are we can count Most of the G1 Cars and Alternators.

    All 5 G1 Predacons, actually.

    Headstrong and Razorclaw: Hangs down like some kind of adam's apple to the animal.

    Rampage: It's right there, upside down. If someone covered his eyes in alt mode he could still freaking see! :) 

    Divebomb and Tantrum: Animal's chin/neck = robot head.

    There seems to be a few categories for TF Head-games:

    1. Head doesn't go away at all (BM Tank Drone)
    2. Head turns into different head (BM Cycle drone)
    3. Head sticks around, but face is covered/obscured (Armada Megatron, G1 Needlenose)
    4. Head doesn't go away, but stuff piles around it to obscure the face (Cyb. Starscream)
    5. Head drops into the body, but top of it is visible (Cyb. Optimus, Red Alert)
    6. head folds in, but the back of it it still visible (G1 Soundwave, E. Battle Ravage)
    7. Head/face is visible on the underside of an altmode not made to be looked at from below (lots of G1 and other lines)
    8. "buttheads" head at tail of altmode (BM Jetstorm, E. Divebomb)
    9. Head seen hiding behind clear windows (Rid x-Brawn)
    10. Head completely enclosed and non-visible - if yer lucky.

    There's other categories, I'm sure.
